The DLHS crew kicks things off unpacking the U.S. Supreme Court’s signals that it may side with the Trump administration after the controversial firing of FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter — a move that could upend nearly 90 years of federal agency precedent.

The episode opens with DL unpacking the sharp back-and-forth between Marlon Wayans and 50 Cent, after Wayans publicly warned 50 that karma eventually circles back — a moment DL uses to highlight how quickly ego battles can escalate inside the entertainment world, especially when past tensions and online theatrics collide. The conversation blends humor with perspective, as the crew reflects on the messy pattern of celebrity conflict becoming daily social-media sport. 

The Question of the Day dives into a messy real-life dispute: a mother suing her neighbor after her 7-year-old stole the neighbor’s delivered food, ate it, and suffered a severe reaction because it was cooked in peanut oil. DL walks listeners through the ethics of responsibility — should the neighbor be held liable when the child was unsupervised, or is the mother shifting blame for her own lapse?  The episode closes on a lighter note as Jasmine offers Five Ways to Get Into the Christmas Spirit, sharing relatable and culturally warm strategies — from reconnecting with loved ones to embracing small acts of joy — adding a seasonal lift after the heavier conversations.

The D.L. Hughley Show opens with sharp political commentary as Trump launches lawsuits against six states—Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington—accusing them of violating federal law by refusing to hand over voter-registration records. According to recent reporting, Trump claims the states’ refusal blocks transparency, while voting-rights advocates warn the move could invite voter intimidation.  

From there, the show pivots into a fiery and funny Question of the Day sparked by a viral clip: a mother asks her child’s father for money to buy clothes, but he buys the clothes himself—prompting her anger. Callers passionately break down whether he was responsible or overstepped. DL argues the father met the stated need, while others insist moms often prefer to choose clothing themselves.  

The episode also features a lively conversation with Ludacris, who reflects on evolving as an artist, fatherhood inspiring new creative work, and the global reach of his series Karma’s World, now streaming in 191 countries. He also hints at returning to music after focusing on film and family. The show closes with major entertainment buzz: widespread chatter about Netflix’s purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery, a deal audiences fear could create a near-monopoly in streaming. DL notes that Trump—fresh off his lawsuits—is even trying to insert himself into the Hollywood mega-merger, drawing laughter and disbelief from the crew.
